Gavotte easy to misunderstand his true nature and to underestimate his stature. His artistic beliefs centred on, in his own words, “clear thought, formal purity and sobriety”, but only on the most superficial level can he be viewed as a conservative composer, since the subtleties of his harmonies, rhythms and textures create a uniquely expressive intensity and beauty. Masques et Bergamasques was composed in 1918, but much of the original material dates from much earlier. On his own admission Fauré “cobbled together” the music, in which he bodily transposed several earlier pieces to the new context. The main theme of the Ouverture, for instance, described by Reynaldo Hahn as “Mozart imitating Fauré”, was written back in 1869, while other prominent ideas include the song Clair de lune and the celebrated Pavane. As for the title, the word Masque relates to the commission, which came from Prince Albert of Monaco for “a one act lyric divertissement’” while Bergamasque derives from a line in Verlaine’s poem Clair de lune.

Sixth Tableau: The Fairy Garden pieces’, was inspired by the children’s stories of Perrault, Comtesse d’Aulnoy and Marie Leprince de Beaumont, and was dedicated to the children of Ravel’s friend Cyprien Godebski. Originally written for piano four- hands (1908-10), Ravel then transcribed it as an orchestral suite (1911), and in the same year expanded it into a ballet score. This involved the addition of two extra movements at the beginning, a re-ordering of the extant ones to create five tableaux, and the composition of short interludes to link them. With a scenario created around the tale of The Sleeping Beauty, the ballet was first performed at the Théâtre des Arts in Paris on 28 January 1912. 6 Repertoire The Prélude was the first addition and seems “He believed he would easily find his way to express in music the time-honoured back by means of his breadcrumbs, which phrase ‘Once up a time’ as fragments of he had scattered as he passed along; but to ideas from the different tableaux are hinted his surprise he could not find a single crumb, at, for instance, hunting horns and birdsong. for the birds had eaten them up.” Without a break, the music continues The lost boy’s wanderings are subtly into the First Tableau and the other newly suggested by the constantly changing time- composed movement, the ‘Dance of the signature and falling back of the melodic line, Spinning Wheel and Scene’.

It is 3 Prestissimo rarely performed in the concert hall mainly because it is a work of his early twenties when he was still forging his personal voice. Nevertheless, since it abounds with lyricism, deft harmony, and the skilful development of his thematic material, its neglect seems surprising. A child prodigy, Saint-Saëns’ musical talents were first encouraged by his mother, and even more so by his great-aunt Charlotte, who was his first teacher. At the age of thirteen he was admitted into the Paris Conservatoire to study organ and composition; from then on he flourished, enjoying a highly successful career which combined composition, performance (he was both a brilliant organist and pianist) and teaching (Fauré was one of his pupils). 8 Repertoire He left a legacy of works that remain In a canny move, he dedicated the Second core parts of the orchestral and operatic Symphony to the conductor Jules Pasdeloup repertoire: the Third, so called Organ who, by all accounts, had limitations as a Symphony, his concertos for piano, cello conductor, but did perform new music in and violin, as well as another work for his concerts.

INCONCERT 19 CLASSICAL PROGRAM SUMMARY How do young artists find a unique voice? This program brings together three works, each written when their respective composers were only in their 20s. The young American Andrew Norman was already tapping into his gift for crafting vibrantly imaginative, almost hyper-active soundscapes in Unstuck, the brief but event-filled orchestral piece that opens our concert. Felix Mendelssohn had already been in the public eye as a child prodigy before he embarked on a series of travels across Europe from which he stored impressions for numerous mature compositions — including the First Piano Concerto. Just around the time Mendelssohn wrote this music, his contemporary Hector Berlioz was refining the ideas that percolate in his first completed symphonic masterpiece. The Symphonie fantastique created a sensation of its own with its evocation of a tempestuous autobiographical love affair through an unprecedentedly bold use of the expanded Romantic orchestra.

The Utah Symphony is con- ducted by Thierry Fischer. Founded in 1962, the A Cappella Choir offers singers the opportunity to perform works for larger choirs and to fi ne- tune the art of choral singing through exposure to music from Utah Chamber Artists the Renaissance through the twenty-fi rst century. Choir mem- bers hone musicianship skills such as rhythm, sight-reading, and the understanding of complex scores. They develop an understanding of the intricacies of vocal production, includ- ing pitch, and how to blend individual voices together into a unifi ed, beautiful sound. In recent years, the A Cappella Choir has become a standard of excellence in student singing in the State of Utah. Last fall, they sang Mozart’s Trinity Mass with the Utah Symphony and the Utah Symphony Chorus under the direction of Thierry Fischer. This renewed a tradition of collaboration between the choirs of the University of Utah and the Utah Symphony, and their outstanding performance resulted in invitations for return engagements in 2015. Utah Chamber Artists was established in 1991 by Barlow University of Utah Chamber Choir Bradford and James Lee Sorenson. The ensemble comprises forty singers and forty players who create a balance and so- nority rarely found in a combined choir and orchestra.

  • MAHLER SYMPHONY No
    MAHLER SYMPHONY No. 1 “TITAN” Fresh ! Gustav Mahler MAHLER : S YMPHONY NO. 1 The work recorded here is, of course, known everywhere as Mahler’s First Symphony. That is not, however, what Mahler thought he was writing at the time, and it took him several years to decide quite what he had wrought (and, in the process, to drop one of the movements). Was this a symphony, or did it belong rather to that alternative, more modern category, the symphonic poem? It was as an example of this latter type that the work was performed for the first time, on November 20, 1889, in Budapest, where Mahler had a post as opera conductor—though it was at the city’s main concert hall, the Vigadó, that he conducted his “Symphonic Poem.” At the next performance, in Hamburg four years later, the composition was billed as “Titan, a tone poem in symphony form,” becoming “Titan, symphony” the following year in Weimar, then finally and fully, reduced from five movements to the standard four, “Symphony in D major” in Berlin in 1896. By that time, Mahler had completed his Second Symphony and most of his Third; he knew what he was about. Some of the ambiguity, however, remains. In a tradition going back through Liszt and Berlioz to Beethoven, this is a symphony that by no means discounts narrative, even though its composer was in two minds about how much of the story to reveal, and what story. “Titan,” the title the piece briefly acquired in 1893-4, to be often revived today, presents a conundrum, for at different times Mahler seems to have explained it either with reference to a novel of the same name by Jean-Paul or simply to stand for a strong heroic figure.

  • Fauré - 4 Duos Et Trios Avec Piano
    FAURÉ - 4 DUOS ET TRIOS AVEC PIANO 1 The vocation of the Palazzetto Bru Zane – Centre de musique romantique française is to favour the rediscovery of the French musical heritage of the years 1780-1920, and to obtain for that repertoire the international recognition it deserves, and which is still lacking. Housed in Venice in a palazzo dating from 1695, specially restored for the purpose, the Palazzetto Bru Zane – Centre de musique romantique française is one of the achievements of the Fondation Bru. Combining artistic ambition with high scientific standards, the Centre reflects the humanist spirit that guides the actions of that foun- dation. The Palazzetto Bru Zane’s main activities, carried out in close collaboration with numerous partners, are research, the publication of books and scores, the organisa- tion and international distribution of concerts, support for teaching projects and the production of CD recordings. Le Palazzetto Bru Zane – Centre de musique romantique française a pour vocation de favoriser la redécouverte du patrimoine musical français du grand XIXe siècle (1780- 1920) en lui assurant le rayonnement qu’il mérite et qui lui fait encore défaut. Installé à Venise, dans un palais de 1695 restauré spécifiquement pour l’abriter, ce centre est une réalisation de la Fondation Bru. Il allie ambition artistique et exigence scienti- fique, reflétant l’esprit humaniste qui guide les actions de la fondation. Les principales activités du Palazzetto Bru Zane, menées en collaboration étroite avec de nombreux partenaires, sont la recherche, l’édition de partitions et de livres, la programmation et la diffusion de concerts à l’international, le soutien à des projets pédagogiques et la publication d’enregistrements discographiques.
